In a commercial point of view the intell:gence is important. At Liverpool cotton bad declined one-eighth of a peony in tne week ending on the 26th, the market closing quiet and dull. Breadstuffa were generally depressed, provisions dull, rice heavy, and in tact American produce of all descriptions exhibited a declining tendency. Freights had also declined. At London, in Ameri- can securities there were no transactions of conse- quence. Cousols are quoted at 90 a 90}, a decline of one-eighth. There is nothing later from India through the ordinary channels. We have, however, a letter from our epecial correspondent at Calcutta, which is publisbed in today’s paver, giving the important information of the capture of the city of Lucknow, the capital of Oude, by the Sepoye, and the massacre of all the Europeans there. This information was current im private circles st Calcutta, but was kept from the newspapers by the government. By the next mail we sbal! probably receive some details of this disastrous event to the British power in the East. A letter from Hong Kong states that the United States sloop of war Levant had burned a village in ‘the island of Formosa, to avenge the pillage of an American ship by pirates. The name of the vessel ‘is not mentioned. The mediation of France and England in the quarrel between Spain and Mexico has been ac cepted by the latter.

Our telegraphic despatches from the principal grain depots on the lakes show that a very exten- sive movement in breadstaffs is going on. 250,000 bushels of wheat, 33,000 brshels of corn and 7,000 bushels of barley arrived yesterday at Oswego alone. At other points the receipts were correspondingly large. We may look for immense receipts of grain between the present time and the clese of canal navigation, and also for an important redaction in prices. At Charleston yesterday cotton declined 2c. a 2}c. from the highest prices of the previous day. There were 60 sales of cotton at New Orleans on Cuesday, and business generally was at a stand, partly, how- ever, on account of inclement weather. The receipts of beef cattle last week amounted to 8,112 bead, a failing off of 547 head as comparea with the receipts of the week previous. The offer- ings of the week were nearly all of common and ordinary quality, and the supply being ample, prices declined a trifle, 8c. a 114c. being the range of quotations, The better qualities of stuck, of which there were but few, readily brought lijc. a 12c. Cows and calves were in moderate demand, at un- changed rates. Tne receipts of veal calves were somewhat lighter, and previous rates were fully maintained. The ruling prices were 5c.a 8c.

Nigger philanthropy cannot hold water in the midst of a fiaancial crisis like this; and bence we conclude that this crisis in | the monetary and commercial affairs of the country will inevitably work out @ great revolu- tioa in the political parties and party politics of the dey. In tbis connection the administration of Mr. Buchbanac looms up into bold relief. It occupies @ commanding position; it bas secured, to an un urua! degree in theee latter times, the confidence of all etctions of the coautry, and of the great body of the people, of all classes and all parties. The conservative views of Mr Ba cbanau’s inaugural, the eminently conservative compotition of his Cabinet aod the tempzsrate, jast and conristent course, foreiga and domestic, | | which be hus thus far pursued, have placed bim | in the covfidence of the country far beyond any | of his predecersore since the days of Gen.

Tbe Sub-Tressury is a good institution as a great financia) balance wheel, as far as it goes; but in the midst of a general financial derange- ment, and with failures and susprneions on every | hand as the order of the day, something more than the SubTreasury will be expected from the general Unquestionably, some- thing more will be expected of Mr. Buchanan goverament A judicions Bankrupt law, and a modit- cation of tbe tariff, including a more marked incidental protection to home manutactures than that of the law of “46, and its amendments are among the relieving measares which, in this connection, will first suggest them. relves to the political economist.

In eny event, the nigger agitation will be euperveded in the coming Congress by the eupe- rior preseure of this financial crisis upon every section acd every induetwial intarest of the coun try. The administration will have @ good work ing majority in both houses; and thu we are « authorized to lock to our cmperienced aud c ry.

In this view we anticipate vome ealutary recommendation: from the President in his annual message, as well as & bold etand againet the epoils and plunder lobby jobs and kitchen cabinet log-rolliog abomina- tons which characterized the administration of poor Pierce, avd that of poor Fillmore, too. The lobby echedule of Matteson, Edwards & Company, republicans, Know Nothings and demo- crate, at the last session, covered an aggregate of some two hundred millions of dollars, in land jobs, patents, contracts, and what not. A sea sonable ventilation of these enormities, through tbe New York Heraxp, put a stop to them for the time; and now, with an honest and indepen- dent man like Mr. Buchanan at the helm, snd with a Cabinet of men of independent means to baek him, we bave no further fears of the lobby *poilemen at Washington. Ard thus one of the largeet sources of the speculations, extravagances and rogueries which have precipitated upon us this financial revulsion will be dried up. Tf, in addition to this, Mr Buchanan shall take the initiative in some measures of specific and permanent relief for the financial evils of the day» he will at ouce place himselt and his administra- tion in a position as powerful as that of Jackson in the reconstruction of the political parties of the Union. Already the nigger agitation is sub- stantially silenced, and the future division of our political parties must be, not upon niggers, but upon the practical issues of doliars and ceuts. And so, with the collapses and crashes of banks, and railroads, and stockjobbers, and with the sus- pension of merchants and factories, the lines of demarcation between the Northern nigger wor- thippers and the Southern nigger drivers will dis- appear, and new parties and new party issues, ignoring the nigger, will rise to the surface, as was the case from 1837 to 1842. In thie general review of the field, it will be seen that Mr. Buchanan stands in the foreground and holds the balance of power; and we look to his administration as the uucleus, upon the prac- tical iseues of the times, for the organization of a new and commanding uational party, North and South. Procress oF BarsakisM IN THE UntTeD Sratrs.—-We are fond of talking about the pro- gress of civilization in these United States, but, really, if recent events are to be regarded as signs of the age, the progrees of barbarism is far more obvious aod remarkable. Within the post few weeke, the public have been called to witness an epistolary ducl between two officers of the Mexican war—General Pillow and General Hitchcock, who, for purposes of their owa, have fallen foul of each other, and abused each other ag very drabe, Of course, there is no reason why military men should not quarrel, as other folks do—indeed, their calling may be presumed to involve something of the pugnacious element; but the people have aright to expect that when officers of the army, and especially field officers, undertake to void their quarrels in public, they will do so as gentlemen and not as scavengers. chis expectation these military men, and more sticul-rly Gen. Pillow, have most emphatical- isappointed. she correspondence which has disgraced oar ‘ums, Gen Piliow and his antagonist make no svemony of calling each other cowards, liars sud cheata. In some cates the word is used in all its naked baldness; in others, it is transparently veiled. But it needs no Cidipus to discover that General Pillow, for instance, desires the country to believe that his superior and many of bis equa’s in rank during the Mexi- con war betrayed their country by pur chasing wito money what they ought to bave won with the sword, and denied the transaction Ike very Judases afterwards. Nor can any ecbooiboy fail to discover, on the most cursory perusal of General Pillow’s letters, that he like wise wishes us to consider General Scott—and, for the mater of that, most of his comrades in arme as well—as pretty even compounds of the coward and the fool. We believe that sncb letters, conveying such imputations avd couched in such style, are wholly upparalleled in the annals of correspond- ence smong gentlemen rtainly no such ecardalourly disgraceful effasions have been acknowledged by any respectable person in avy civilized country within the present or the last tories letters of challenge and defiance kvight to knight, which certainly do not mi or beat the bush, math re aud which therefore bear a ttrong resembiance to the style of General Pill s effusions Men of tion and honor, did, in those dark each otper liars and poltroons; though they soon got over the brutal babit when the light of | chivalry fair 3at—be it well remem- bered— wher ght of Charlemagne’s age told | bis enemy tbat lied, or wrote bim down a | coward, th sult was coupled with instant offer to meet him in single combat, or so many on a side, avd make good the foul word on foot or horseback, with eword or with lance. It is left for Gen Pillow to imitate the ontrage without venturing on the cartel Barbarism, in truth, seems to be on the in- crease, not only in the army, bat in social cir- cles and the other professions as well. One meets covetantly in “the best society” fellows who have not one trait of the instincts of gentlemen; who talk, act and think as though the Five Poiuts was tbeir only home. And these ill conditioned swearers, ohewere, epitters, loud talkers, gross thinkers and evlfich bebavers are steadily on the increase, Then look at the bar. Is it posible for that noble profession to fall lower? Lawyers whoought to epend the whole of their lives in the p»niten tiary, and who even then would be in debt to the State; lawyers guilty of perjary, robbery, ewind- Jing. and every form and variety of fraud; lawyers ready to conspire with any jail-hird to cheat any- body; lawyers to thoroughiy educated in crime and vice that the words honor and virtue cease to convey eny idea to their minds; lawyers—and the better clase of them——recklese of professional duty, scoffers at professional decorum, eager only to make a giadiatorial exhibition of themeelres, and to surpase in vituperative slang the glibbest scullion of the foulest den in Water sweet —are these the representatives of the profession which bae shed eo much justre on the coantry, and from which three-fourths of our political and aw tional leaders are chosen?

Dr. Hay. We have had an interview with the Rev. L. G. Hyy, woo tas lately retarned to this coantry trom Ind‘a, where he has been residing for the ‘ast seven years as a missionary of the Preabyte- rian Board of Foreign Missions, Mr. Hay was long rer dent at Allahabad, one of the principal centres of the Bengal mutiny, and i: the first per- eon who has returned from the scene of disaster. The rarrative ot his escape from the massacre, and his views general'y in regard to the mutiny, have been already published in our columas, from the London papers, in which city he re- ceived great consideration, and his opiaions were eagerly sought for by the members of the govern- ment, in consequence of his high standing and long personal acquaintance with affairs of India. We learn from him that the causes of the mu- tiny are more wide reaching in the Bengal Presi- dency than in either of the other two—Bombay and Madras. The principal of these is to be found in the policy pursued by the government in the constraction of the army. While in Bombay and Madras the native forces are constituted of more heterogeneous materials, in Bengal caste has been recognized, and the entire force drawn from s homogeneous set of men, who have always looked opon themeelves as « superior clase, and who never have and never will work, To be soldiers, and as sach superior to other men, is their social condition and pride. In thus attaching to itself the military caste, the govern- ment believed that it was securing the strength of the country, and that it could play off caste against caste with security. It is this pampered pride that has now turned upon those who fostered it. Musselman ambition has joined with the Brahminical teachers, and they bave used every means to stimulate the pride of the Sepoys and their hatred for anything that might tend to deprive them of their social superiority. So far as regards the great mass of the other inhabitants, Mr. Hay does not think they are deeply imbued with the spirit of disaf- fection. The administration of justice by the Britith officials has been equitable; and though some of the native officers of the government have abused their power, and ill-treated the native population subject to them, the mass of the people recognice in the British rule a far better administration than has ever been experienced under native government. They are therefore not deeply interested in the succees of the mutineers, except so far as the ex- cited fanaticiam of some may lead them to par- ticipate in it. Mr. Hay does not anticipate that the mutiny will embrace Central and Southern India to any considerable extent, for the reason above stated; and he thinks tbat Delhi cannot be retaken much before the close of the year, if so soon. The re- conquest of the Northern Presidency has to be effected, and it will probably be a slow operation; but of the ultimate success of the British troops there can be no doubt. The destruction of vest- ed interests, however, will be great, and every- thing in the shape of enterprise must be com- menced anew. Asan instance, he states that the entire establishment of the mission at Allahabad has been destroyed, and the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions has incurred a loss of fully two hundred thousand dollars, He will arrange soon to give public addresses on India, in the hope to bring back to the Board, from the contri- butions of those interested in the subject in this country, eome portion of the great loss it has sustained. His own personal losses have been 60 great as to deprive him of all the means he pos sessed, and it was almost a miracle that he and bis family escaped with their lives. It is his in- | tention to proceed shortly to Washington to place the intormation in his possession before the government.
